PDI: A Decent Income Investment

  • PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund has outperformed the S&P 500 in a risk-off environment, but my outlook is now more constructive for equities, making me less bullish on PDI's outperformance prospects. But PDI has favorable tailwinds in non-agency residential MBS, as low housing inventories offset low affordability, leading to higher prices and demand for mortgage credit. PDI also has meaningful exposure to high-yield credit. And this market is seeing higher yields without higher credit risk, at near all-time-low default rates.
